Ingo Schweder, the former chief executive officer of spa management group Spatality, has launched a new international consulting firm called GOCO Hospitality.

GOCO has been created to offer a full range of consulting and management services to the international spa and hotel industry under the baller 'wellness meets wanderlust".

The company is already working on a combination of projects, including hotel spas, destination resorts and mixed-used developments in locations around the world.

A spokesperson for GOCO said: "GOCO approaches the hospitality and spa business with an emphasis on sound financial structures, best-of-breed management systems, personnel development and brand-building prowess.

"GOCO is a group of exceptionally talented individuals with broad international experience in business development, spa operations, branding and marketing, and hospitality management."

Spatality, which had been in operation since 2001, no longer exists.
